As we all know SMS allows you to contact your friends families and colleagues but its expensive, in large numbers. So we needed some free instant messaging services so Facebook launch Messenger and WhatsApp developed by some other people was acquired by Facebook later on after it’s launch .

Also there are many other apps which are free and are for instant messages but we will stick to this to as a topic says Messenger versus WhatsApp.

(5) Video sharing is limited to 20 megabytes or it is increased now but not good enough for sharing good quality video. (6) Images which you share to others are automatically compressed so sometimes it happens with the quality is harm. (7) In some Middle East countries WhatsApp is banned so the working of WhatsApp in that region is not that good, your messages and calls will go astray sometimes. (8) After restoring your WhatsApp, some photos and videos go away missing and WhatsApp is improving this day-by-day so you will be protected in near future.
